Abstract
In 150 young women (from 22 to 35 years of age) bearing carcinoma of the uterus cervix, late results are discussed according to the stage and treatment. A higher efficacy of radium-roentgen association in comparison with radium alone is observed. As concerns the first stage, it is suggested that better results are obtained by an association of surgery and radium-roentgentherapy. A prognostic appraisal based on the degree of histological differentiation is of no value, other than in undifferentiated carcinomas which would seem to have a more unfavourable prognosis in comparison with epidermoid carcinomas and adenocarcinomas. A comparative evaluation of late results in young women and aged ones shows a worse prognosis in the former.
